Postural Care CIC is a Community Interest Company (denoting not for profit) working to Protect Body Shape for people with movement difficulties, such as children with cerebral palsy. We provide quality assured, accredited training in therapeutic positioning and validated, non-invasive measurement of body symmetry. Our commitment to providing support to healthcare professionals and families is the driving force behind our organisation and we hope to work with you in the near future!

Our work has been developing for the past 15 years and we are very proud of the results achieved by families, self advocates and professionals working in partnership.  Recently this had led us to develop a national steering group with representation from family leadership groups, the Department of Health, The Royal College of Nursing, The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, The Oxford Centre for Enablement, and the National Patient Safety Agency amongst others.

Combining professional experience with personal commitment, we are recognised as one of the most innovative teams; contributing to leading developments in government policy for people with learning disabilities and other groups within the NHS.

Our training courses are accredited through the National Open College Network, and we are audited every 6 months for quality assurance. Throughout 2010 we will be working on a national project initiated by Skills for Health as part of a Children's Workforce Development Council and Skills for Health work programme. We are developing training for practitioners and families to protect body shape and conservatively manage scoliosis through the safe use of therapeutic positioning.

As a CIC we are also regulated by the Government CIC regulator to ensure our work is continually benefiting the communities we seek to support.
